Fury or Company Mascot?

 

[Echo the husky]

Furry! The company isn't cheerful enough to have a mascot!

Glad to see I'm not the only one to bugger about with stuff!

This is like Mythbusters for beginners.

No wonder A&E departments are swamped.

Furry!

I did wonder if it was that. I only learnt what Furry's were last year.

No wonder A&E departments are swamped.

Well if the cap of that size injured me when I was in a completely different room when I turned it on, then I think we have bigger things to worry about.

Let's not forget that I did this when I was younger (Jump to 1:10)

That would have been so much more spectacular using WD40, or a can of that stuff you spray into carbs to coax unwilling engines into life, and a source of ignition close by.

Holts easy start! My mates Caddy is addicted to the stuff. It's scary stuff.

A can of lighter fluid would work too. Fly spray seems like the least interesting thing to blow up

How about a half-full 5l metal can of cellulose thinners, top tightly screwed on, placed on a bonfire?

I have the former, and could easily build the latter.

Now that would be a big fireball

At primary school I discovered that if you put a sheet of Asbestos on a bonfire, it exploded in a most satisfactory fashion. On one occasion a shard hit me in the eyebrow causing a deep gash. (I shudder when I think about it). Anyway, at school the next day my teacher took me aside and asked me how it happened. To this day I am impressed by the social awareness of some school teachers.

When I was much younger me and my mate used to fill humbrol model paint tins with petrol hammer down the lids then sit them on a camping gas stove and wait for them to go off.
One day we decided to upgrade the experiment to a 500ml paint tin, we set it up and retired to the kitchen half an hour later we were just about to give up on it when boom off it went, everything within about a 10 ft radius caught on fire, including his Dads motorbike
